Using Follicular Unit Extraction, hair follicles can be removed from the beard or elsewhere on the body one at a time, and used to restore hair to balding areas on your head. All of your body hair can be used in this method – your chest, back, stomach area, legs, arms, armpit and pubic areas. It is a great technique to use in cases where there’s not enough donor hair on the head available for transplant. With this innovative procedure, even the most severely bald individual can have a full head of hair restored.

As you seek options for your hair transplant needs, it is critical that you do your research to ensure that the doctor you select is qualified. Follicular Unit Extraction is a surgical procedure demanding delicacy and skill, and must be done by an experienced, licensed medical doctor. It’s also important that you find a doctor who will cater to your needs and make you feel as comfortable as possible.

Beard hair FUE is a scalpel free procedure and does not leave a linear scar, but it will leave small white round scars in the donor areas from where the hair is harvested. These marks are usually hidden in the donor area and are not visible, even if the hair is cut very short. However, these small marks of hair transplantation will be visible if the scalp is shaven. Therefore when the beard hair is used as the donor source for the hair transplant, the patient must continue to have a beard after the hair restoration in order to cover up the faint white marks. The tiny circular scars from the FUE surgery will most likely be visible on a clean shaven face.

FUE performed with beard hair is also different from the process of extracting hair from the scalp because of the greater leniency of working with facial skin. A test prior to the hair transplant is particularly important for a beard hair FUE transplantation because the ease of extraction for an individual should be determined in advance. In addition the texture of beard hair is coarser than scalp hair, and therefore the extraction process and results will be different. Therefore beard hair might be an imperfect substitute to replace scalp hair due to its lack of ability to completely take change into natural scalp hair like appearance and texture.

The technique by which Dr. Umar transplants beard hair, SFET (also known as the “Umar Procedure”), is his advanced version of the procedure commonly referred to as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). The “Umar Procedure” is knife-free, and the protocol has enabled the transfer of hair from the back of the head, body, and beard to the balding areas of the head. This method is significant because it enables the transplantation of body and facial hair (BHT) as well as head hair, which increases the donor hair supply and thus gives hope for many severely bald patients in need of hair transplant repair or additional hair transplants. In addition, Dr. Umar has found the application of body and beard to hair to be also very useful for the treatment of hair transplant reparations.

The procedure is performed at Dr. Umar’s Redondo Beach, Los Angeles office in California at the DermHair Clinic. Dr. Umar is a cosmetic surgeon, and Certified by the American Board of Dermatology in Los Angeles.

Hair Loss Solutions

Having personally experienced the devastating consequences of a poor hair transplant and scarring after undergoing a surgery done on him as a resident physician, Dr. Umar set out to find a new linear scar free, knife free, and minimally invasive hair restoration solution. In order to accomplish this, he first compared the different procedures for hair restoration. He focused on alternatives to the painful surgery and limitations of traditional treatments for hair replacement. At that time, many alternative treatments were still in the developmental stages and were flawed, so he began to design a new, minimally invasive, hair transplant procedure. Dr. Umar has spent years focusing on the invention and design of tools and techniques which allowed him to develop a successful, knife-free, natural replacement for hair loss.

The result is “The Umar Procedure,” or single follicle extraction and transfer (SFET). This is a more advanced form of the procedure popularly known as Follicular unit Extraction (FUE). This state-of-the-art hair restoration treatment results in rapid healing rates and better overall yield and growth of transplanted hair follicles on the scalp. The Umar Procedure is a minimally invasive treatment that requires no scalpels, strip surgery or stitches. Scarring and downtime are minimized with SFET. Best of all, because the procedure allows for the use of body hair, it allows for the number of transplantable hair or donor supply to increase in availability, giving many hair loss victims new hope for Los Angeles hair restoration. The newly transplanted hair follicles grow in a natural pattern after the first treatment. SFET (a form of FUE) and Body Hair Transplant (BHT) as performed by Dr. Umar is a minimally invasive process that occurs in complete patient comfort. After the procedure, most patients would not require even ordinary over the counter pain killers. Depending on the size of the surgery, as many procedures can be scheduled over the course of several back to back work days. Typically, patients’ returns to a normal life immediately and many have no need to cover their head with a hat ever again. Dr. Umar is a pioneer in FUE, inventor of SFET, and the top BHT hair surgeon in the world.
